Re: You Have Got to be Kidding me. Murder for sale.
Law and Order, CSI, The Wire, and most other movies and shows are based off of real incidents. And even if they aren't, there's going to be a coincidence and some victim is going to sue for all profits anyway.Comment

Re: You Have Got to be Kidding me. Murder for sale.
That's a completely different kettle of fish. Besides, most of the "based on a true story" episodes are ripped from actual headlines and are public domain. It's not like you need permission to do a story based on some high profile crime. Hell, one of the Law and Order shows did an episode based on the Amy Fisher case 10 or so years after the fact! Now if they did an episode based on something that happened a year or so earlier then yes I can see your point but that rarely if ever happens.Member of the Official OS Bills Backers Club

He'd claim he was enforcing his 1st Amendment rights as a member of the press, and so long as he wasn't directly involved in the crime itself he'd probably win. Now that being said I'd like an argument that he is engaging in a furtherance of a conspiracy to commit a crime because he then helps to distribute the recorded crime for profit, but again the 1st Amendment gets in the way.Comment

Permission and public domain don't matter, Law and Order is still directly profiting off of criminal acts.Comment

Re: You Have Got to be Kidding me. Murder for sale.
It depends on a lot of things, such as if they could show that the cameraman in some way induced the crime. If they can show that and he is criminally convicted as an accessory in some way then 1st Amendment rights would not attach. If they cannot make that showing then I honestly believe that this could survive under the 1st Amendment. Who knows though with this Supreme Court (if it made it that far) these things are too hard to predict.Comment

I just can't understnad people sometimes. Like you hear rappers and other people complain why their life sucks because of Bush and why people stereotype them, and then stuff like this comes out and they never even second guess that maybe they get what they deserve.
It reminds me of Crash when Terrence Howard tells Ludacris how embarresed of him he is because he commits such atrocities.Comment

Last week, another YouTube video of a gang of foulmouthed teenage girls pounding on a male subway rider outraged the city.
EDIT: I found it......ridiculous man.....I wish they would come up to me on the subway..... Im not trying to be a tough guy but things like this make me sick.
cowards.
not just the girls, people who things like this in general.Last edited by The 24th Letter; 12-11-2007, 06:17 PM.Comment

Re: You Have Got to be Kidding me. Murder for sale.
Oh, it's real. I was in Harlem not too long ago and this guy was on the block selling "crack heads gone wild". It had actual footage of crack heads smoking the pipe and goin completely freakin crazy! I just looked at the guy and said "c'mon man". He was selling it like it was completely natural to do so, like he was a hot dog vendor or something. This is absolutely crazy, though.Comment
